At long last, after two years of development, Historic Films is proud to announce the launch of its new, fully digital, online library. We are now able to offer on-line screening of many hours of footage from our stock footage library (and more as it gets digitized!) and "priority access" to thousands of entertainment/music clips for research, screening and downloading. Historic Films has chosen to offer entire documents for user viewing rather than preselected individual "clips" as is the standard for many other footage archives.

Visit us at www.historicfilms.com and remember, if you don't have the time to do the research yourself an experienced Historic Films researcher is just a phone call away.

What's New In The Archive

CD:UKHistoric Films, through an arrangement with Shout Factory, is proud to announce its representation of CD:UK, the iconic British music television program which ran from 1998-2006. In its day CD:UK rivaled the BBC's long running Top of the Pops (which presented most of it's performances in lip sync). CD UK offered up to the minute chart information and extended live performances by all of its artists.

For seven and a half years the show was broadcast live on Saturday mornings with a studio audience and featured performances and

interviews with artists such as Britney Spears, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Oasis and hundreds of others. It also featured the Saturday Chart, which although was unofficial, usually reflected the new chart positions a day before the official chart was announced on the radio. Besides the completed shows, Historic Films has unearthed hours of full live performances by many of the show's artists which were never used on the broadcasted programs.

Historic Films is currently digitizing and logging over 500 shows and performance reels from this collection and hopes to have all of the selected clips available on its website in the near future.
